Do Catholics worship idols?

In their newest video, Spirit Juice Studios and Fr. Pontifex use art and spoken-word poetry to answer a common question: do Catholics worship idols?

"We gave this video the title of "Idol Worship" because many times that is exactly what Catholics are accused of without really knowing what we believe. This video is an attempt to creatively give expression to what the Catholic Church teaches about the Communion of Saints and our relationship with Mary the Mother of Jesus our savior.

We are not idol worshipers. Catholics know very clearly who they worship and that is one God in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We do honor the saints including Mary and we believe that through Jesus Christ we are connected, we have a communion."

    I love the mix. Art when use for the glory of God, always will manifest strong faith. Thank you for sharing. God bless you!

    Well, we don't worship idols any more than your average American worships Lebron, Obama (for some), or a random Kardashian. At least Mary and the saints (great name for a band, btw) are more worthy of our admiration than your typical athlete/pop icon.
